Do not listen to this book
Revisado: 10-05-19
I foolishly purchased this book without reading the reviews — do not repeat my mistake. The concept was interesting enough, but the writing heavy handed with some of the genetic metaphors. The protagonist’s reactions to events were unbelievable and didn’t make sense. She was just annoying. I tried to make it through to find out what happened, but it ultimately wasn’t worth a minute more of my time. Do not recommend this book.

Candace Chen, a millennial drone self-sequestered in a Manhattan office tower, is devoted to routine. With the recent passing of her Chinese immigrant parents, she’s had her fill of uncertainty. She’s content just to carry on: She goes to work, troubleshoots the teen-targeted Gemstone Bible, watches movies in a Greenpoint basement with her boyfriend. So Candace barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York.

A surprising novel, excellent narration
Revisado: 05-06-19
I throughly enjoyed the story, at times it shocked me with the changes in tone, odd descriptors that contributed to a general feeling of uneasiness throughly the book (which works well for a novel about the disintegration of society due to a virus). Nancy Wu’s narration fit well with the tone of the story, and I really felt that she was Candace. No spoilers, but the ending was particularly good. Not predictable, but it felt like an ending that made sense and fit with the characters personalities and the general plot of the novel. It didn’t feel inevitable, it felt like it belonged.
